For cyclists, Siem Reap is genuinely twice blessed. Firstly, all the major sights are within easy striking distance of the town using pedal power alone. And secondly — and more importantly given the tropical climate — the terrain is pretty much flat as a pancake, making cycling a year-round possibility.

Many hotels and guesthouses include free use of bicycles in their room rate, and charitable rental outfit The White Bicycles has bikes for hire at just $2 a day at various partner hotels — including Rosy Guesthouse and Soria Moria Hotel — throughout town.

In the unlikely event that your hotel doesn’t have bikes at your disposal, panic not, as most establishments are never far from a rental shop. On a morning ride along Wat Bo Road I counted at least three rental shops within five minutes with daily rates from just $1 for a good old-fashioned “town bike” and was offered a pretty nice looking mountain bike for just $3.
